Liverpool were rarely excellent during the Europa League group stages, but topped their section ahead of Swiss outfit FC Sion.
So according to UEFA, only one of our players earned the right to make it into their ‘Team of the Group Stages’ – and that’s right-back Nathaniel Clyne.

He’ll no doubt be one of the first names on the team-sheet come the Last 32 match v Augsburg.
